Some people are perfect fits for their profession but then some, like the new Norwegian Health Minister, are soon exposed as probably due a career change.
In virtually her first interview in her role of safeguarding the nations health, Sylvi Listhaug announced that Norwegians 'should be allowed to eat, smoke, eat red meat and drink as much as they want'.
Possibly she misunderstood the job title of 'Health Minister' but that may not be a problem for too long because after health advocates pointed out to her that all the things she mentioned are major contributors to many serious diseases, there are now calls for the responsibility for the publics health be removed from Ms. Listhaug’s portfolio, saying that 'she seems to lack understanding of what public health really means and what her role as minister in that area should be'.
Removing the main part of the job for a minister could be something that could catch on here as our Governments standing would certainly imporve if the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs was banned from any contact with Foreign countries, Secretary of State for Education was not allowed anywhere near a place of learning and Chris Grayling, was kept out of any decision making whatsoever in any sphere and was only employed to place the biscuits on the table for cabinet meetings.
